Low Level Volcanic Emissions Modulate Cloud Properties
January 20, 2008 —
In the last two decades, it has become clear that the release of particles in the atmosphere due to human activity (such as smoke stacks) influence clouds and as a result can impact weather and climate. Good examples of observable effects are marine cloud . . . [continued]

Thin Cirrus Optical Thickness Retrievals using the MODIS 1.38 µm Band
January 6, 2008 —
Thin cirrus clouds present numerous challenges to remote sensing retrievals of cloud optical properties. Reflected solar radiation at the 1.38 µm wavelength, measured by the MODIS on Terra and Aqua, is quite sensitive to thin cirrus because large water v . . . [continued]
